Dear Students and Parents:
Welcome to Foods II. Below you will find information about this course, contact info, my grading policy, required materials, a page to be filled out with parent and student information, internet contract and safety contract. I am looking forward to a great semester!
Class Fee $5.00 (Due ASAP)
Course Description: This course focuses on advanced food preparation techniques while applying nutrition, food science, and test kitchen concepts using a new technology. Food safety and sanitation receive special emphasis, with students taking the exam for the ServSafe® credential from the National Restaurant Association. Students develop skills in preparing foods such as yeast breads, and cake fillings and frostings. Students will develop specialty food preparation skills used in food service operations. A real or simulated in-school food business component allows students to apply instructional strategies and workplace readiness skills to an authentic experience to develop a portfolio and to enhance FCCLA activities. Skills in science, math, management, and communication are reinforced in this course. Work-based learning strategies appropriate for this course include school-based enterprises, field trips, job shadowing, and service learning.
